Spain is getting it now so no Spain, Germany fak them maybe Italians.

It can only be those 3, and all 3 are receiving Tranche 4.

Germany would never do that for Turkiye. Plus they are doing a military buildup.

If I had to guess its the Spanish or the Italians. It might be spain, maybe they want to cancel and get Tranche 5 that will come later in the 2030s or maybe they don't feel like they need more planes.
